Understanding the science of sequencing knee pain is essential to learning how to reduce the most amount of knee pain naturally using the least effort. Many suffering from acute or chronic knee pain isn’t even aware these steps exist. As a result, they end up never quite able to fully relieve their knee pain or regain full range of motion in their knee joint.
A Little History of Sequencing
I discovered this approach taking a class from Dr. Charlie Beck titled, “Sequencing”
Let’s first look at the definition of sequencing which is “an order of succession, an arrangement”
In essence, this concept is approaching the body with the intent to discover where the area of most restriction is held, and by releasing the tension in that area first, we can release the most tension in the body in the shortest period of time.
It is essentially using the Pareto Principle – the “80/20 Principle” to affect the most change the quickest.
Switching the Focus From Restriction to Pain
From the “Knee Club” perspective we are switching our focus from the area in the body of most restriction to the area of the knee in the most pain.
As a result, you experience more relief in the shortest amount of time.
First of all, being an objective observer of our knee pain is the most difficult part of the process because the pain tends to draw us in emotionally and confuse our judgment in the process causing us to make poor decisions as to what is best for the knee to relieve the pain.
However, when we are understanding the science of sequencing knee pain we are looking to be a “3rd Party Objective Observer” of the experience of pain in the knee to zero in on three areas.
